The Public Advisory Council (French reformed: Conseil consultatif publique), is an advisory body convened by the President of Gylias.
The PAC was created by President Sáe Nyran, and first met in 1987. It consists of experts, artists, and intellectuals across a wide area of subjects and drawn from across the political spectrum. Membership fluctuates, but has generally been 20–30 people.
The PAC answers questions directed to it by the President, and expresses itself on topics of public importance. All opinions are released publicly, and PAC meetings — which the President attends — are released publicly. In practice, it resembles a federal, more philosophical equivalent of municipal and regional advisory councils.
The PAC has become a popular and notable institution in Gylian public life since its establishment. It has helped facilitate consultation prior to legislative and policy proposals, and is an additional point of contact between Gylias' direct democracy and delegative–deliberative institutions. Its functioning served as a model for the transformation of the Gylian Senate into a sortition-based chamber.
